Almost Here!

37 Action-packed Pulse
Pounding Tales!

That’s
exactly what you get in this collection of action stories from top thriller
authors, both established and on the rise.

Think back to the days when heroes were heroes and the action
was furious and full-blooded. When often as not, the hero was quite the
opposite: an anti-hero - but he needed to be, to bring the kind of violent
justice to villains worse than him. When political correctness took a back
seat, even as the bullets and karate chops were flying. Basically it was good
old harmless fun. It was a case of disengaging your moral compass and getting
down with the hero as they took on all comers, and they did it with balletic
grace and uncompromising violence. Gratuitous? Mostly. Realistic? Not always.
Great fun? You betcha!!!

Then fast forward to the here and now: What if the current
action and thriller authors set their minds to bringing back the action genres
of old?

Well, that question is answered here.

Within these pages you will find secret agents, vigilantes (both
just and insane), cops, villains, soldiers, veterans, gangsters, swordsmen,
privateers, Ninja and even a crypto-zoological beast you might recognise. Some
of the tales are delivered with shocking realism, some as lighter entertainment,
some on the grittier side, but each and every tale included in Action: Pulse
Pounding Tales Volume 1 is sure to get your heart racing.

Congrats to all the writers involved in this project and a special hat-tip to Matt for putting this together. Hope it sells well and raises money for a really worthy cause. A terrific line-up and I look forward to reading it. Top stuff!
